Seany has his 100th day of school on Tuesday (if it doesn't snow, that is). To celebrate, he and his classmates were assigned their very first school project to do: find 100 of something and present it in a creative way. Sean thought and thought about what to bring - make a lego ship with 100 pieces? A necklace made of 100 pieces of macaroni? A shirt with 100 buttons on it? Then Sean looked over at the kitchen counter and saw the bucket in which we keep his collection of applesauce caps! He figured there must be 100 caps and he was right - the bucket had over 100 caps in it!
Once it was time to make the poster, we dumped the caps out onto the floor and Sean sorted the caps by color and shape...
Then, he counted out 100 caps by making ten rows of ten...
Meanwhile, Clare cut pictures out of magazines - one of her favorite pastimes while Sean is doing schoolwork...
After sorting and counting the caps, it was time to glue them onto a piece of poster paper. I thought Sean was going to glue them in their ten rows of ten, but then Sean suggested making the number 100 out of the 100 caps - brilliant! So we got busy gluing and arranging the caps. Once that was done we painted with a little glitter glue to make the poster snazzy and then it was done!
